To all fwwm 'it may concern:

Beit known that I ARNOLD SCHRER, a citizen of the United tates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invcnted'a new and Improved' Hair-Waver, of

which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in hair wavers, an object of the invention being to rovide a novel form of hair waver, or rat er a pair of coacting hair wavers which ywill impart that peculiar conformation,

newn as the Marcel wave to a strand of air.

A further object is to provide a hair waving device, which will be simple and practical in construction and operation, so that a woman may use the waverat home to curl her own hair without the assistance of a professional hair dresser.

A still further object 'is to provide a device of the character stated, which may be manufactured and soldat a comparatively small cost.

With these and other objects in view, the inventiony consists in certain novel. features of' construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and vclaimed in the claims.

ln the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of one of my improved hair wavers';

Fig. 2 is a similar view of the other hair Waver, showing the tongue 8 in partially open position;

Fig. 3 is a View in section on the line SiS-3 of Fig. l;

Fig. 4 is a similar view on the line 4 -4 of Fig. l;

F Fig. 5 is a similar View on the line 5-5 of ig.6 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating the conformation of a strand of hair after my' improved wavers have been applied, the dotted lines indicating the wavers in applied position; and

Fig. 7 is a view in side elevation illus-l trating a modiication.

Referring in detail to Figs. l, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings, my improved hair waver A, which is of celluloid or any other appropriate flexible material, vcomprises a pair of parallel arcuate comb members 5 connected at their endsby bridges such as 6 and?v Specification of Letters Patent.

`s aced apart throng hout their length.

hroughout `the main yportion of their length, the members 5 are yprovided with series of teeth 7 disposedl at an angle to the transverse axis the teeth of each member being parallel, and disposed. at an opposite angle to the teeth of the other comb member.

An arcuate tongue 8 is pivoted at one end between the members 5 on a pin 9 and is removably locked between the'other ends of the members. I have illustrated one ferm of locking means, which includesa pair'l of inwardly presented -nipples on the members 5 engagea le in a perforation ll in the free end of the tongue 8. When the tongue is in locked position, its upper edge is flush'with the upper uninterrupted edges of the members 5.

In Fig. 2 Ihave illustrated a Waver B similar 1n all respects to the waver shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, with the exception that the teeth l2 are di osed at opposite angles to the teeth 7. Sg characters have been applied to the parts of the waver B, of the waver A.

ln applying either waver to a strand Aof hair, the -tongue 8 is swung to open position and the hair is introduced between the tongue and comb members 5. The tongue is then swung to closed and locked ositlon forcing the hair into the relatively wlde slots 13, 'which are provided between the teethAQf the comb members. By virtue of the fact thatthe teeth on the come| members are disposed at opposite an les to the transverse axis ofthe members, t e hair when forced to the inner ends of the slots will be not only curled upwardly over the topof the tongue, but will ybe curled or twisted laterally because those slots which may have their outer ends in registration will vhave their inner lt will be evident that the wavers need' imilar reference Patented Nov. il, 9211.. application mea march e, 1921. serial its. 451,053.

'80 of the comb members,

which correspond to the parts a not be of the arcuate shape of the preferred form and I have illustrated a modified form of Waver C in Fig. 7. This Waver is similar in all respects to the wavers A and B with the exception that the comb members 14: and the tongue 15 .are of straight instead of arcuate form. l

Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described Without departing from the invention. and lhence I do not Wish. to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but Shall consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

.I claim:

1. A hair Waver including a pair of parallel lcomb members, means lconnecting the comb members at each end and spacing them apart, anda tongue pivoted at one end between the ends of the comb members and movable beween the combg'members.

2. A hair Waver including a pair of parallel lcomb members, means connecting the comb members and spacing them, apart, a tongue pivoted at one end between 'the ends .of the comb members, and means for removably locking the 'free end oi the tongue between the other ends of the comb members.

3. A hair Waver including a pair of parallel comb members, means connecting the comb members and spacing them apart, a tongue pivot/ed at one end between the ends of the comb members, and means for removably locking the free end of the tongue between the other ends of the comb members, said means comprising inwardly presented nipples on the comb members, said tongue having 4-a .recess therein receiving said nipples. 4. A hair Waver including a pair of comb members, means connecting the comb members and spacing them apart, said comb members including` teeth 'disposed at an angle to the transverse axis of the comb members, a tongue pivoted at one end and movable between the said members.

5. A hair Waver including a pair of comb lading apair of comb members including teeth disposed at an angle to the transverse axis of the comb t members, a tongue pivoted at one end between the ends ofthe comb members, and means for removably locking the 'free end of the tongue between the other ends of the comb members, said means comprising inwardly presented nipples on the comb members, said tongue having a recess therein receiving said nipples.

'7. A hair Waver comprising a pair of comb members, means connecting the ends of the comb members and spacing said members apart, Aeach of said lmembers including Va series of teeth disposed at an angle to the transverse axis of the members, the teeth on the two members being disposed at opposite angles to each other.

8. ln combination, a pair of hair wavers, means associated with one of said Wavers for curling a strand of hair transversely and in one lateral direction, and means associated with the other Waver for curling a strand of hair transversely and in the opposite lateral direction.

9. In a hair Waver, a pair of arcuate par-l allel comb members, bridges connecting the ends of said members and spacing themv apart, teeth onl the members, the teeth of one memberdisposed'atan opposite angle to the teeth or the other member, a tongue pivoted i at one end between the ends of the comb members,- and means or removably locking the free end of the tonguebetween the other ends of the members.
